Which stew? That would be Alison Roman's spiced chickpea stew with coconut and turmeric and greens. It's been everywhere. Bandwagon needed to be jumped on. Yummy veggie recipes high in protein are always good to have in the back pocket.
It was pretty tasty. Notwithstanding the slightly crunchy chickpeas due to the cook's impatience with the soaking process. While Alison Roman seemed to serve it as is - a big bowl on the Today Show - it was a bit salty for that, needed a bed of rice (also all the better to stretch the pot over more meals). THE stew pairs particularly well with quick microwaved sweet potato - the slightly sweet and savory combo is always a winner. And, added bonus, a nutrient packed starch! And easy and quick to prepare, too.*
* Newly "discovered" time saving hack (because even microwaving the sweet potato was taking too long - happens when arrival home is past 10pm and the goal is to finish eating before 10:30 on the modified restricted eating diet; even 7 or 8 minutes in the microwave is too long): Utilize the office microwave, and carry home a cooked sweet potato!! The potato weight in the work bag is minimal, the gain in time, TIME - that most precious commodity - is priceless.
